Description | Designed by CompuServe even before JPG GIF file format displays indexed-color graphics. It is a simple illustration with maximum 256 colors. That is why it is great for the web, logos and icons also are saved in GIF format. There is one more reason for that: GIF preserves transparence. You can put an icon or a logo above another image, and the borders of the first one won’t be seen. Above all GIF supports animation, which is a widely spread technique among the designers. |

Category | Image File |
Description | PCL (Printer Command Language) is a standard page description language, which was developed by Hewlett-Packard. Initially, it was used by inkjet printers, but later it evolved to suit other types of printers (matrix, thermal, etc.) Today, PCL is used with HP LaserJet-compatible printers. PCL files contain commands, which describe the graphic layout of the document being printed; then they are directed to HP printers, which decode them. Files are created with the help of a PLC driver. |
